No, but he has a ridiculous first name.

I grew up with a lot of guys named MITT...er, well, I guess you're right.

It is short for Mittens non?

That is rather sweet

He's tied with Obama for that honor.

No. Barack is just odd. Mitt is ridiculous -- especially since he goes by Mitt by choice. That's his middle name, his first name is Willard.

Then again, if he has elder brothers who go by Cap, Coat, and Sock, maybe it isn't by choice after all.

Gary Hart[1] (born Gary Warren Hartpence, November 28, 1936)

He did it in reverse. Took a ridiculous last name an made it normal. Problem was, he himself was ridiculous.

Since you mentioned Gary Hart... have a guess, which one is older, Gary Hart or Ron Paul? (If you have to google or wiki, you're cheating.)

Wow, the jokes almost almost write themselves. Trying desperately to revive his campaign, Mitt says:

"My Mom and Dad are buried here," Romney told his audience, recalling his father, the late Michigan Gov. George Romney, and his mother, Lenore, a 1970 U.S. Senate candidate in the state.

Oxymoron alert:

Small Crowd Greets Romney's Mich. Push

Maybe he could have attracted more people if he'd offered jumbo shrimp?
